"Well, perhaps now is a good time to tell you about your car's extended warranty"
I work from home, the company is just me & the boss owner, so no co-workers, I post about my annoying customers.
customer: thank you for helping with that!
me: you're welcome
customer: ok, have a good day
me (thinking): SAY GOODBYE!
me (out loud): you too
customer: seeya
me (thinking): SAY GOODBYE!
me (out loud): yes, seeya
customer: thanks again
me (thinking): SAY GOODBYE!
me (out loud): you're welcome
customer: OK
me (thinking): SAY GOODBYE!
me (out loud): OK
repeat
Pfsh.IT guy, recommending our customer upgrade his quickbooks: "no 5 year old program will work & no company will support it after 5 years."
me: yeah... ours does. we do.
My old boss had a name for it, it's called "getting Nanced" with Nanced being a play on her name.
Have a co-worker, who works in another office upstairs, but is down in my office 10 times a day. Each time, she smells like she just smoked a pack of cigarettes and doused herself in the cheapest perfume the Dollar Store sells to cover the cigarette smell. It does not work. But that's not even the worst part. She's a human vampire, she sucks you in to everything. She will come down with say an invoice that our office has to pay, then ask how your weekend was. I usually respond in one word answers without looking at her...but if I answer that with "good"....she then decides that she needs to tell me about her weekend, what her kids, who are grown ass adults now, did this weekend, what TV shows she watched, what she's doing for lunch...and twenty minutes later when she finally gets the F out of my office, you are left there dazed and confused and hacking up her smell. My old boss had a name for it, it's called "getting Nanced" with Nanced being a play on her name. She traveled to Europe once, for the first time in her life, when her daughter did a semester overseas....so now when anyone is going anywhere in Europe, she acts like she's freaking Rick Steves writing a travel book. Just went to Germany for Oktoberfest and she's telling me about turning dollars into Euros...no **** Sherlock. Latest is now she is a NYC pizza expert because she went to NYC for a weekend and probably ate at a freaking Sbarro's in Time Square. Hello, you're talking to someone who grew up in New Haven, CT, the pizza capital of the US...don't be telling me about pizza!
"Amber alerts" at one place I worked. Nice enough lady, and not unattractive, but sometimes there's a job to do.. . . it's called "getting Nanced"
You know, I almost said she reminds me of Colin Robinson!
All good fun until someone loses an eye?In the 90s I worked with a gal that liked to wear her clothes tight. Like 5lbs of toothpaste crammed into an 8oz tube tight. Each button on her blouse was accompanied by a series of stretch wrinkles so alarming that we took to putting on our sunglasses when she came around because the joke was you needed eye protection in case she popped one.
In the IT Dept. there was a standing 50 bucks pool for anybody who dared to successfully strike a match on her somewhere. Nobody ever took the money.Wait - was that actually annoying?
Seems like fun - like, there could have been an office pool about it
Yeah. It was considered a workplace hazard. I guess she could have been considered hot in a rope swing kind of way. The annoying part was just being embarrassed for someone who needed to outgrow more than just her clothesAll good fun until someone loses an eye?
Yeah. Then it’s a sport.All good fun until someone loses an eye?
